Trail description

Starting at Vesterås Farm, walk through the goat and llama paddocks before heading up to the right - there is a path that climbs steadily until it reaches Løsta at approx. 500 m above sea level. You are starting off in the woods before climbing to a great view over Geiranger fjord and Ørnesvingen. Take a drink in the sun on the patio at Vesterås once you’ve finished the hike and enjoy the views.
